I'm coming out!

Hey guys,

This is a long time coming, but I think its time for me to come out before I totally loose my mind. No, not that closet... a different one.

Back when I bought linkmeallover.ca way back, the former owner told us whatever we do... don't use our real names on the forum. He promised us that if we did we'd have crosses burning in our front yards. That was almost a decade ago and a lot has changed in that time.

So today, I'm coming out and changing my username. Seth seems so silly now. No offense to the Seth's out there in the world, but it truly doesn't suit me. I don't feel like a Seth and so I'm renouncing my previous username.

From this day forward please call me Bryce, the name given to me by my parents

Re: I'm coming out!

Welcome to JUB, Bryce!

Its great to see you posting more. Kinda missed you over the last three or four years here. But then, we knew you were really busy behind the scenes keeping the place tip top, and expanding into other exciting projects.

Re: I'm coming out!

I didn't know you were a Bryce, and now I do.

Good job

I've probably never been that smart about identity protection on the internet. I don't spread my surname around but I've always used my first name (thankfully there are 2 people with the exact same name, and one with the same date of birth within 10km radius of my current location).

Re: I'm coming out!

Well Bryce,

I would post an obscene (not fit for office) thing here as a congratulations
butt, somebody changed stuff and my copy/paster don't work no more.

Glad you feel comfortable in your SKIN. I've always thought a lot of you
whatever name you use. Me, I'm Lefty since about 7 years ago when I
realized there were at least 47 variations of my other name on active duty
here. Besides, ever since I was a kid I wanted a 'macho' nickname.

This be the final place of Death
For an old Icon named Seth

A roll of the lucky Dice
Brought forth the man known as Bryce

No need to ask the new man twice
He helps solve problems in a trice.

Only that name died the good death
In a gadda da vida our old friend Seth.(*in the garden of Eden*)

Reddish, Goldish - they're like the envelopes on the old system.
You haven't been reading all of the posts -

Reddish = 5o or more posts, or 1000 or more views.
Blue = less than one of those, i.e. less visited or "newby" thread - which, as we all know, Bryce is certainly a "Newby".
He only founded the place under a nom de plume, lol.
This is #49

Re: I'm coming out!

Congrats to you and all the guys that make JUB possible. You all had a great idea and it has brought many guys together and have the ability to hash out all the s**t that goes on in our gay lives. You all should be proud of yourselves.

Re: I'm coming out!

One of these days, maybe after my father dies, I'll be able to use my real name in the places online that I'm out (though, not here because the people in this region would be horrified [or worse] if they found out I was into gay porn!). There are a few trusted friends and family in RL who know I'm bi (some even know I'm into gay porn!), but I am not vocal or obvious about it at all--at least, I try not to make it obvious when I'm admiring a woman's rear end.... Online, though, I'm VERY vocal about who I am. The only vocal about GLBTQA I am in RL is standing up for marriage equality and honoring diversity and the Trevor Project and such. My dad asked last year why I was into these causes all of the sudden, and I said, "Because it's right." I didn't lie; I just dodged.

Dad's a homophobe. He's getting better, but I'm pretty sure he'd use the "just being trendy" phrase or similar on me if Mom or I told him because he's very old fashioned and thinks everything in the world must be the way he wants it...especially his family and his immediate environment. (Do the terms "narcissist" and "verbal/emotional/psychological abuse" ring a bell? Those apply to my dad and my family life. I lived in that home until I was 40, when I finally got granted Social Security Income because of my epilepsy and Asperger syndrome complicated by severe depression [chemical, not situational].)
